Real Estate Taxes

Your property taxes are based on three (3) taxing jurisdictions – Salford Township, Montgomery County, and Souderton Area School District (SASD).  The real estate property tax is based on a millage rate levied each year by the respective governing bodies of those jurisdictions on your assessed property value.  For example, the Salford Township real estate tax is set by the Township Board of Supervisors in December each year as part of the annual budget process.  The School District real estate tax is set each spring by Souderton School Board.

Real Estate tax bills for County/Township are sent by February 1st of each year.

SASD tax bills are sent by July 1st of each year. If you do not receive within 2 weeks of each date, please notify the tax collector.

Where Your Real Estate Tax Dollar goes:

Salford Township real estate taxes remain at 1.4 mills and have not increased in 17 years.

Township and County real estate taxes not paid to the Tax Collector by the end of the billing period (December 31st for Township and County taxes) are forwarded to the "delinquent tax collector," the Montgomery County Tax Claim Bureau who will add their collection fees to the orginal bill penalty amount.

School real estate taxes not paid to the Tax Collector by the end of the billing period (June 30th) are forwarded to the "delinquent tax collector," Portnoff Law Associates who will add their collection fees to the original bill penalty amount.

PLEASE NOTE - Please mail your payment to the Tax Collector at the above address. Make all checks payable to SALFORD TOWNSHIP TAX COLLECTOR. The Tax Collector will be available at the Township Building during pre-scheduled hours listed on the tax bill.  The Township office staff is not authorized to accept you tax payment.
